Our undergraduate courses enable you to tailor your degree to your needs. We offer flexibility and choice, giving you opportunities to gain the transferrable skills employers really want, such as teamwork, leadership and learning another language.

PhD study takes place within a demanding and rigorous research environment. The depth of your personal knowledge will increase and you will be expected to make an independent contribution to knowledge in your field.

Engineering Foundation Year

The Foundation Year will enhance your technical and academic skills, preparing you for undergraduate study.

On successful completion you will be guaranteed a place on one of our three- or four-year (BEng or MEng) degree programmes. The course is suitable for those who have not studied the required subjects for direct entry to an undergraduate degree.

​Our course provides the same world-leading education that we offer at our UK Campus. You will build a solid understanding of the key concepts of maths, mechanics, electricity and electronics and engineering principles. You will also develop the academic skills required to study successfully for an undergraduate degree.

MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics

Aeronautics and Astronautics brings together advanced engineering across a range of disciplines with applications in air vehicle specification, design and construction.

This integrated masters programme gives you the opportunity to study a more extensive range of aerospace subjects at advanced level than the BEng course. In your first two years, you will gain a solid foundation in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion along with a wider appreciation of the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and aircraft performance. In your final two years you can choose from a broad range of subjects, including modern languages.

MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Southampton is ranked number one in the UK by the Guardian University Guide, 2016 for electrical and electronic engineering.

At Southampton you will gain a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills required to work in the technology sector, and also the wider range of competencies needed by today’s professional engineer. This breadth of knowledge is developed using a systematic approach to most subjects - blending the core technical syllabus with ongoing design exercises that run the programme. In Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), you will use some of the most advanced teaching facilities in the world, and you will put the theory you have learned in lectures into practice to deliver real results.

MEng Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is vital to every aspect of our daily lives – you can see it at work all around you.

It is a challenging and exciting subject that covers a wide range of technical activities, including the design of machines, manufacturing processes, medical engineering and microsystems technology. Here at Southampton, you will learn the skills required to work in the technology sector, and the wider range of competencies needed by today’s professional engineer. This breadth of knowledge is developed using a systems approach to most subjects - blending the core technical syllabus with ongoing design exercises that run throughout the programme.
